Motorola, in partnership with the Lenovo Foundation, announces the next phase of indigenous language's digital inclusion project with the addition of two new endangered languages - Kuvi and Kangri - spoken in regions of India. This initiative makes Motorola the first OEM to support the preservation of indigenous endangered languages from regions in India.
This initiative is a step towards Motorola's commitment to embracing inclusivity and delivering smarter technology for all, by delivering the first-ever Kuvi language writing system and keyboard, and a fully localized Kangri smartphone User Interface to the devices.*
India tops UNESCO Atlas of World's Languages in Danger list with 197 endangered languages, out of 2,464 endangered languages around the world, followed by the U.S. (191) and Brazil (190). When selecting the languages for this most recent phase of the project, Motorola analyzed many factors including the percentage of speakers in the communities to indicate loss of language, community access to technologies, engagement with the broader community, and availability of linguistics resources.
